Valid CSS, XHTML logo generator

I once knew a website where the user could generate the little W3C valid CSS tags which looked much nicer than the too large W3C official ones. It was also possible to fill the icons with whatever content and color for other stuff.

I've lost the bookmark and wasn't able to google it, can you post it and maybe other such resources?

EDIT: and yes I know ...

Can I modify the existing icons to create my own?

No. The validator's icons are distributed under the W3C document license, which allows distribution but does not allow derivative works.

BUT I don't care, cause I don't want my design to look ugly.

Here a blog of a guy who made some

Be careful though, W3C is strict about their logo usage (as is any company):

well yes and no... I mean, as long as it's a different image, there is no problem:Q2: Can I use an image in a link to the W3C Web site (e.g., to the W3C validator) that is not derived from the W3C logo?Yes, you may link to the W3C site with images that are not derived from the W3C logo.

True, but some of the smaller badges use the W3C logo. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be a preacher of some kind, I'm just giving the other side of the story :P

sure, I think I would agree to avoid the little W3C logo in them and just write valid css

You don't want your design to look amateurish? Then don't put those logos on. The only people likely to care whether your site is valid are going to check whether they see the logo or not.

maybe true but a) I'm for standards and their promotion and b) and more importantly it's the wish of the customer in this case

tharkun 2008-12-12 10:24:03

I think I understand the reasons of my customer, it can make your site look more trustworthy to ppl.
